That’s good 
YOu got 2 options for Engineers:
-
Backpack for medpacks, also get +200 effect, and larger chance to get downed, instead of killed. That way you are super survivable.
-
Grenade pouch - what I do on all my engies - they are my pocket artillery. My frontliners all use either medpacks or ammo pouches. So my engies are grenadiers, and tank hunters.
Who else would do this? Snipers? No. MGers? No, too slow. Assaulters are busy assaulting. So engies are my grenadiers, and do tank hunting.
And you got unlimited ammo, with ammo boxes on engies.

Agreeing on backpacks, because if you’re building as an engineer you’ll probably be away from direct combat, but still somewhat exposed to fire, so you take a lot of glancing hits that you can pull yourself out of with lots of medkits.
I go for large grenade pouches. On most of my soldiers, with the exception of assaulters, gunners and snipers - they get large ammo pouches.
I really, really like grenades. So it’s a no-brainer for me. Whenever I can pick the extended grenade throwing perk on leveling up a soldier, I do. They get the grenade pouches. Everyone else gets a backpack. I rarely run out of ammo, so I don’t use ammo pouches.
I do all of this regardless of class.
